Minnesota Genealogy Research
Between the Civil War and World War I, most of Minnesota’s Poles settled in the Twin Cities, Duluth, and Winona. They also established some 50 communities in rural Minnesota and another half dozen in the eastern Dakotas, with more than 40 Roman Catholic parishes, four Polish National Catholic parishes and chapels, and at least one Missouri Synod Lutheran congregation. Although central Minnesota boasted the largest concentration of rural Polish settlements, they were scattered throughout the state.
